differential crossmember solid mounts ??
Hi
Who offers this early C3 differential crossmember mount solid bushsings ?
Or the big washer type support that bolts underneath the rubber mount ?
Can't locate the vendors anymore.
Thanks a lot
Günther

I'm not sure those reinforcement kits do anything. T thiink getting rid of the rubber inserts and replacing them with a solid mount would work better. You might look here;

I've emailed them to get a clairification why there is three disks.

Hmmm, I would think that the ones VB&P work like they say they do. The aluminum disks act like a really big washer bolting the crossmember to the frame. This is opposed to the one bolt which is holding the stock rubber bushings to the frame...they are easier to deflect using just the bolts. THe large disks would stiffen up the rear crossmember, but it still wouldn't be as solid as a direct bolt on solid aluminum mount. The rubber and reinforcement kit still has a little give. I could be wrong though...maybe somebody else could explain this subject a little better (somebody with actual experience)?

All those discs are is aluminum bar stock. I just cut off 2 slices of 5 ich bar stock aluminum and drilled 2 holes in it. I used Stainless studs and bolted the crossmember up like the stock ones then put the discs on and used another set of nuts to tighten the discs up. So I have 2 sets of nuts holding on the X member adn the discs. Works OK this way. cost me nothing.
